Hi, my Barracuda 7200.11 (Firmware SD15, about 3 month old) was also infected (2009/1/1) by Seagate's Data-Recovery printing money BUSY feature. After reading a few different threads about this, I registered for the salvationData board in hope to get some more information to solve this issue by myself via the terminal. On the salvationData board I met a guy who is, especially for germans (maybe for europeans) very helpful, because he has bought the latest version of the HD Doctor for Seagate. Yesterday, I sent him my HD. Just 24 hours later, he replies the disk is doing well again, after he has processed it with HD Doctor. If someone is interested, I will send the URL by PM, because the guy (now Hero) is very new in this business oneself (but not a beginner).
